Mizuho Failed POTA Activation! Yaesu FT-891 Recovers!

Sadly my 15 meter Mizuho handheld was not up to the task in completing a POTA activation. Instead I had to reach for my trusty Yaesu FT-891 to complete! https://dxengineering.pxf.io/VOmdQj

Antenna Radiation Patterns Explained: Dipole, Vertical, Yagi & EFHW

Antenna Radiation Patterns Explained: Dipole, Vertical, Yagi & EFHW

In this educational part 2 of an antenna series video (likely from a ham radio YouTube channel like Tank Radio or similar), host Frank discusses radiation patterns of four basic antenna types—dipole, vertical, Yagi, and end-fed halfwave (EFHW/inverted fed halfwave)—using free MMANA-GAL antenna modeling software (moment method tool based on MININEC, great for beginners with plenty of tutorials).
Guest Paul @prephampaul joins to demonstrate live models in free-space or near-ground setups at 20m/14.05 MHz, showing the classic broadside "donut" pattern for a horizontal dipole (perpendicular to the wire, directional when oriented properly), omnidirectional 360° donut for a vertical (ideal for all-around coverage like Field Day), highly forward-focused lobe with strong nulls behind for a multi-element Yagi (great for DX, satellites, moonbounce, or fox hunting with elements like reflector, driven, and directors), and a sloped EFHW’s "gumdrop" high-angle pattern biased toward the downward slope (popular for POTA due to easy setup, tree support, minimal space, and good local/regional performance with a short counterpoise).

My FTX-1 Go Bag Setup – The Ultimate Portable Ham Radio Kit

My FTX-1 Go Bag Setup – The Ultimate Portable Ham Radio Kit

In this video I show my FTX-1 go bag setup built around the amazing Yaesu FTX-1 Field. The radio fits perfectly inside a rugged Maxpedition water bottle holder, making it a compact and protected portable station that’s easy to grab and take on the trail.

I’ll walk through how the radio fits in the bag, why this setup works great for portable ham radio, and how it keeps everything organized for quick deployments in the field. Whether you’re hiking, camping, or setting up a quick portable station, this go-bag approach makes the FTX-1 incredibly practical.

If you enjoy portable ops, POTA, and lightweight radio setups, this might give you some ideas for your own field kit.

LDG Z-11ProII | Putting Non Resonant Antennas To The Test!

People have always said good things about LDG but I’ve never really used one so I couldn’t confidently recommend them to people. In this video I took 4 non resonant antennas out to the park to see what this portable tuner could do and I was not disappointed. Admittedly there was some user error on my part getting things to tune, but once we got past the "me" obstacle, this tuner performed great.
